Little '59 compatible with stock pickups??

[MarkyMarkRox]

Yo I just got a little '59 bridge pickup for my standard Tele and I don't really feel the need to change the neck pickup just yet so I was wondering if the '59 will be compatible with the stock fender pickup in the neck?? I hope I don't have to buy a neck pickup jus to make the '59 work.

It may be hotter than you neck pickup, but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work if it's a Little '59 for Telecaster.

even though they are different brand pickups they wont have any problems with different magnetic polarities?

If they're outta phase, all ya gotta do is switch the green and black wires on your duncan.

i have a lil 59 neck in my selfbuilt strat. the other pups are from a strat
which somehow sounded more like an 80s stratcopy. it works perfectly for
me using the neck 59 full plus the middle pu, if i screw the middle pu far
away from the bridge, to get a more vintage tone, but not soo silent.
it's worth a try. as i recently learned it's important to find your own
sweet spot at every pu.

I use a Lit' 59 Bridge on my neck and a JB jr Bridge on the bridge on a modified Jaguar, standard Jaguar POTS and with no problems.
